Itinerary
 |
Day 1
Depart Salt Lake City 5PM...We start this fantastic trip by
picking up you and your fellow Adventurers in Salt Lake City. We'll
prep you for your adventure and then enjoy a comfortable journey to
our first destination... |
|
|
Day 2
Thunder Mountain... Perhaps the most picturesque singletrack in
the country, Thunder Mountain is unforgettable! Located on a high
plateau, this trail winds through red rock sandstone spires called
hoodoos. End the day with a cook out and campfire under the starry
sky.
|
|
Day 3
Gooseberry Mesa... This great trail (with Zion National Park
as a backdrop) with its technical twists and sand stone sectors is
said to rival Slickrock Trail, and has been touted as the best trail
in Southern Utah...decide for yourself! Here’s your introduction to
the unique terrain, called slickrock. Actually, slickrock is not
slick at all. To the eye, it appears to be slick sculpted sandstone,
but its surface is like coarse sandpaper. It's the stickiest thing
your tires will ever touch!

Day 4
Gemini Bridges... On to Moab! Nestled in the heart of Utah's
Canyonlands, this trail is a mixture of fire road, slickrock, and
amazing scenery! It’s a great intro ride that will acclimate you to
the area’s unique terrain. A killer descent leads you to amazing
views from the top of the twin sandstone formations that give this
trail it's name. (20miles) Ride into the unique town of Moab, and
become acquainted with your new home base for the week! |
 |
Day 5
Moab's Slickrock Trail... The Greek Deities had Olympus, and the
gods of mountain biking must surely dwell here. Twelve miles of
uninterrupted sticky sandstone waves for your fat tires. This
ride is hard & heavenly! Later, cool off in a pool, or wander
into town for an ice cream or to sample more of the local brews! |
 |
Day 6
Free day Moab Utah! Today, give your blackened glutes a rest
and discover that there is more to Moab than fabulous mountain
biking trails! Canoe, jeep, horseback ride, rappel, and yes,
there are still numerous bike trails to choose from! ($20-80)
We’ll take an evening ride with John
on his unique Unimog to the best spot in Moab to watch the
sunset, high above the Colorado River, as the end of our
adventure draws near. ($30)

Day 7
Moab's Porcupine Rim... Ride this local epic with dynamic views of
the La Sal Mountains and Castle Rock. Locals think this is the best
ride in town...we agree! Like a phenomenal roller coaster, this
trail climbs 3 miles and summits at the canyon rim, then gives way
to miles and miles of hair raising downhill!

Day 8
We'll roll back into Salt Lake City by noon, exchange emails and
addresses, and say our goodbyes. We'll assist you with your
shuttle ride to the airport, or suggest sites to see if you are
staying in Salt Lake City for an extra day. |
